It has been three weeks since Manchester City outplayed and finally beat FC Barcelona on a memorable night at the Etihad Stadium. This win was crucial because City had put themselves on shaky ground in Group C of the Champions League prior to that game, but a victory meant that qualification to the last 16 now looks more likely than not.

Today, the Blues travel to Borussia-Park where they face struggling German side Borussia Mönchengladbach, who sit 13th in the Bundesliga. That should not make City underestimate their opposition, however, with these Champions League nights a big deal – Gladbach lost only narrowly to Barcelona at home in September.
